+ '''istinc''' (not comparable)^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is [[af|la|istim|-ce|t1=from there]].^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) [[m|la|istim]] belongs with the pronoun [[iste]] “that (of yours)”, which de Vaan traces to [[itc-pro|*es-to-]], the source of the Umbrian demonstrative [[m|xum|estu]] too.^(de Vaan 2008) It is formed like [[hinc]] and [[illinc]].^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ De Vaan and Köbler date it from Plautus,^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010) whose ''Miles gloriosus'' has someone told to guard the doors so that no one slips away from there and crosses over here.^(OLD 2012)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It is from the place of the person spoken to, from over there: in letters Cicero uses it of the place where his correspondent is, asking to be told when he means to set out from there.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Apuleius uses it without reference to a second person, simply from here.^(OLD 2012) It also marks position, on that side, as in Plautus' one of you stand there, the other here.^(OLD 2012) Of a source it is from what you have, and partitively of that: Horace hopes that long age or a frank friend may take away much of his faults from that store.^(OLD 2012) Church Latin glosses it hence, from the place.^(Stelten 1995)
+
